| Am I not cute? |
We went up to the Sabbatis Bog today looking for boreal birds. Although we found a few relatively common ones we didn't see anything exciting until I walked back to the car. What used to be Grey Jays, but are now Canada Jays were all but landing on the boss's head looking for food. They were very friendly.

| Truly, kind sir, I need cake...... or sunflower seeds if you have them |
Guess maybe they thought he was carrying birdthday cake or something. It sure felt like a birdthday to me! These birds are such a delight even though it takes over a hundred miles of driving to get where they are. Such a treat. I was sorry we didn't have pockets full of sunflower seeds for them.
Then we visited the Adirondack Mountains Antiques Show so the boss could get some fun out of his special day too. Never saw so many furs, pack baskets, canoe paddles, and Adirondack camp stuff in my life! That was pretty neat too.

| Palm Warbler, nearly as tame as the jays |
I suppose it won't be long before you'll be shipping that Palm Warbler my way.
ReplyDeleteBlue-gray GnatCatchers are already here. Warblers won't be far off!!
ReplyDeleteFC, Alas, yes, he will be leaving soon along with all his friends. Our Yellow Warblers seem to already be gone. He was a nice extra when we were looking for the jays.
ReplyDeleteDani, come to think of it I haven't seen one since mid-summer. They are such cute little birds. I think most of our robins are already on their way to you too.
